Amazon has renewed 10TB HGST hard drives available for $152.77 ($15.28 per TB) shipped from Amazon Australia with Amazon US being the seller. Model is ‎HUH721010ALE601-MDD

Refurbished Hard Drive? I Know…I know…

Being refurbished drives, they have been used and the listing states this may be up to five years in a datacenter, although some people report less run time (such as 3 years). The listing states that each drive has been tested, and importantly that Amazon will provide five years of warranty from the purchase date, rather than the normal 180days they provide refurbished items. Five years is much better than many other refurbished drive deals I’ve seen and comparable to a new drives warranty.

These HDD is used by Datacenter Servers for about 5 Years period. HDD was refurbished and data wiped with DoD standard. It's fully tested & passed HGST factory diagnose software test. Since this is heavy duty enterprise HDD with a 2.5M-hour MTBF rating. We are confidence that to honor another 5 Years Warranty for these hard drives. Buy with confidence & worry free!

From the comments a number of people have had drives fail, so I wouldn’t recommend these for anything critical and the drives should be tested on arrival, but users are also reporting that exchanges have been trouble free. Being that Amazon (US) is the seller and Amazon usually has exceptional customer service coupled with a 5 year warranty, it’s potentially worth the risk for a drive that won’t be holding critical data. Just be prepared to potentially have to go through a warranty process and make sure the saving is worth that effort to you.

As always, backups are your friend.

    Note on the US page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BSB7J2Z8, these aren't actually sold by amazon US, so you might have to deal with "goHardDrive" or "DBSKY" for warranty :)

      I wonder how that would hold up if you had to argue it.

      It very certainly said Amazon US for both, from both the app, and the au website.

    Renewed

    Do you feel lucky punk?

  • Leedian on 12/11/2023 - 19:31

    It also shows a 180-day Amazon backed warranty?

    • Smigit on 12/11/2023 - 19:33

      My reading of that was the Amazon Refurbs as standard offer 180 days to any refurb goods that Amazon provides, which includes phones, laptops etc. The 5 years specifically would apply to the hard drive.

    already 5 years old, now get another 5 years warranty.

    Anyone aware of any deals for NEW HDDs coming up in OZ? Looking for local stock, can wait till Black Friday, if that's when you recommend.

    5 years warranty is better than the 2 years you get on new drives.

    • Tacooo on 13/11/2023 - 00:14

      5 years warranty is worth absolutely nothing when the drive dies and you lose data.

        Not when I’m using them in a RAID or with replaceable data like movies and tv shows. But yes I wouldn’t use these a single drive for important data.

      • Nom on 17/11/2023 - 23:01

        Why would you lose data when the drive dies?

        Once it's been replaced under warranty, just restore one of your backups to the replacement drive 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • KingPhil on 12/11/2023 - 19:50

    Bought one. It's 5yrs provided by the 3rd party reseller, not Amazon so definitely risky… Fingers crossed.

    A good price for 10TB but still a no from me.

    • chutibuti on 12/11/2023 - 20:25

      it depends on use case,,

      • Tacooo on 13/11/2023 - 00:15

        This is true. For example, they're great for breaking windows and smashing things with.

          10TB but still a no from me.

          Yes, understand & tanks for letting us know.. also, for breaking windows & smashing things , I am sure many other cheaper options available, but for me having them in a RAID10 with dedicated spares & having separate backups give enough confidence, my other use case NVR, with 2 parallel/distinct locations loosing a hdd is not critical, for my use cases I don't care of HDD failures, hence my comment " it depends on use case"

    Probably used to be a 12TB drive :)

    Not risking my data on these. Hard drives and condoms are 2 things you should never buy second hand or refurbished.

    • Smigit on 12/11/2023 - 20:11

      I’m going to put mine in a config with a parity drive (possibly two parity drives), which I guess will be the equivalent of betting against a failure by wearing two or three condoms at once.

      • PainToad on 13/11/2023 - 07:09

        Bad analogy. Wearing multiple conditions increases the chances of breaking.

    • teckiwi on 12/11/2023 - 20:18

      Why would you even risk your data being on a single drive?

      • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 13/11/2023 - 21:08

        I have a parity drive. Good chance the parity drive carks it when rebuilding.

        • Nom on 17/11/2023 - 23:03

          But then you just restore a backup.

          Drive failure should be a none-event 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Commodore64 on 12/11/2023 - 20:00

    You are lucky to get 5 years from most drives, some last 7, some may only last 3.
    Not really worth the risk of data loss.

    • chris666 on 12/11/2023 - 20:18

      Some of my drives are pushing on 10 years now and still work fine but they are backed up

    • lgacb08 on 12/11/2023 - 20:46

      Nah, it either die or not. If it makes past 5 years then it will, just like a 15 year old car with 300,000km on the odometer. A shit box will not make past 200,000km without tell-tale signs.

  • bumpyhead on 12/11/2023 - 20:06

    Good for media server disks (don't mind loss of data anyhow)

    • chutibuti on 12/11/2023 - 20:11

      same,, bought few for my nvr

    Hell no! 5yrs 24/7 running in a data centre!!! LoL refurbished my ass.

  • mafim on 12/11/2023 - 20:29

    These disks have 5 year warranty, but not your data on them.

      I run a RAID 6 with 8x 4TB HGST SAS drives, four of them are from 2017 and the other four are from 2015 I believe. If you have a good RAID array then unless something really catastrophic happens and more than 2 drives fail then the warranty is pretty good.

  • Doesnotcompute on 14/11/2023 - 13:08

    One back in stock
